Sheets shows up at Rangers ballpark

Very interesting… The Rangers were close to giving Sheets a two-year deal when a physical exam raised concerns about his elbow. The Brewers ended up on the hook for surgical costs, from what I understand. Sheets told TR that he will see Dr. James Andrews on Tuesday and hopes to get clearance to begin a throwing program.

Sheets is a Dallas-area resident and he is close with Maddux, who was the Brewers’ pitching coach from 2003-08, so the fact he was at Texas’ ballpark doesn’t necessarily mean he will sign with the Rangers. Still, it’s the first we have heard from him for a while so I thought I would pass it along.
